Re: Favorite NFA/GDTRFB ? |
I've never listened much to the Skull and Roses version! I'll check it out again.
As for the latter-day NFAs, I couldn't agree more. I love that tune in the early days but HATE HATE HATE it in the 80's and 90's. It got slow, routine, and mind-numbingly boring. I like 1977 as a year, but I usually can't even stand Not Fade Away then, so many are lifeless and rote.

Disregard 10/31/71...It's the wrong date. They didn't even play NFA...on this day. Sorry. I'll find the one I meant to recommend in a bit.

FUCK!! They did play it on Halloween 71. Great high energy version. It's a Dicks Pick, that's why when I checked the archive it wasn't there. Sorry for the mix-up

Stick to fucking with people BVD, you are better at it than discussing music...

Re: Favorite NFA/GDTRFB ? // Great China-Rider as well |
Way to muck-jack the thread. As if we need more of that kind of input.
I, too, love the 4/5/71 version. It's the tops baby!
http://www.archive.org/details/gd1971-04-05.sbd.cantor.gmb.96269.flac16Just went back to this show. The China-Rider is amazing. The guitar work is nearly flawless. Check out Bob's intro....it's perfect. Right?

I suppose that makes me the "worst and dimmest"? I can live with that...plus, it sounds better to say "Flow, you're no dimmer than Tell", eh?

Well let's not forget I coined the term muck-jack. NNNNNNNKay?
You are anything but dim, Mr Tell. AND, there is more to life than smart. Smart is great, but I trust the ones with a heart over those with just smarts.
Empathy I believe is the operative word. My favorite people in life have it and show it.

Re: Favorite NFA/GDTRFB ? |
For me 71, early Keith versions are the best, but I like NFA into the early 80's, like that sort of "narcotic" feel, that I could have , but after they moved it to the end , and cut the jam to almost nothing, and added the Buddy Holly , "bop bop" ending , It is mostly ... well , kind of lame .
GDTRFB suffers, in my opinion, when Mickey comes back . The gentle , lopeing , rolling ( like you are riding a walking horse )feel becomes more direct , the drummers going "boom-thwack, boom thawk" .
In the early days , I love how they would slip into it, In later days, Jerry would go directly into a sort of irritable, caffeinated version of the riff , to launch the song . Most of the grace , and smooth country groove was gone .
Now there are a few with Hornsby that I have to admit are nice , I just feel, that they got tired of jamming NFA, and lost the country feel for GDTRFB .
